My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for agitating the air, and more particularly in apparatus adapted to be worn by the person at parties and balls. The object of the improvements is to provide an apparatus ot' this type which can conveniently carried by the person, and which adapted to be iiXed to the arm so that it 1s not lost by negligence. With this object in `view my invention consists in constructing.

a mechanically operatedl fan of small dimension and provided with means for attaching the same to the arm of the person. For op erating the fan mechanism such as a clock work is provided which is able to supply the necessary power for a long period of time without being rewound. For agitating the air a fan of the rotary vane type may be provided. But I prefer to provide a fan of a form which is pleasant to the eye, for example yby constructing the operating member in a form representing a dancing girl or in the t'orm of the wings of a butterfly or the like. My im proved agitating apparatus will particularly be used when dancing, and therefore I prefer to provide the same with a spray for spreading perfumes, the said spray being preferably operated by the mechanism for operating the fan. In the preferred construction of the spray means are provided for throwing the same into and out otl operation at will.

For the purpose of explaining the invention several examples embodying the same have been shown in the accompanying` drawings in which the same reference characters have been used in all the views to indicate corresponding parts. In said drawings,

Fig. l is a sectional elevation showing the fan,

Fig. 2 is a sectional plan view taken on the line II-II of Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation showing a modification, and

Fig. i is a sectional plan view taken on the line IV-IV of Fig. 3.

In the example shown in Fig. l the fan comprises a figure a representing a dancing girl, the said ligure being carried by a spindle b disposed axially of a box To the said ligure does notre sai-digspindlef pinion e is secured `which is locetedwithilr-the tesina andgvhh is in mesh with a gear wheel g Connected with a pinion` 7L...The-,pinionjtis in mesh with a geen Wheel nnsstedwth Ya Suitable. motel' Steh weasel-in ieeteatedelolwork ,7e Suitable means being. provided for rewinding the said work.

Preferably the gure is rockingly mounted on the spindle b by means of a pivot bolt a, so that it may be rocked downwardly when out of use. Thus, injury Y to the figure is prevented. The casing f is not larger than the casing of.` a watch oarried by the arm of the person, so that the appara-tus does not hinder the person and has a tasteful appearance. In the modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the agitating apparatus is in the form of the wings o of a butterfly, the said wings being rockingly mounted at p and having ,8 5 arms r eXtendin into the casingg. Thewings are acted upon Ey springs w, tending to bend the same downwardly, and for operating the same a disk t is rotatably mounted within the casing entially with Wedge-shaped cams s adapted to engage the wings between the arms 1' and to rook the same upwardly and into the position shown in Fig. 3. The disk is rotated from the spring motor 7c through the inter- ,95 mediary of gear wheels o and u. Whenever upon rotation of the disk the cams s pass between the arms r, the wings o are removed upwardly, and thereafter they are thrown downwardly by the springs w.

g, which disk is provided circumfer- 90 I Between the top wall of the casing g and one ofthe arms 1 there is a rubber ball connected with a spray y for spreading perfume, the said spray opening through a nozzle a into the outer air. Thus, Whenever the arm r is rocked upwardly by one of the cams s the ballis compressed'thus spraying the perfume, and afterthe camf'haspassed the ball is expanded by its elasticity. -The :ball-ww is connected with a slideQ having an armexf .y tending through a slot 'made"ithetop'wall of the casing Q, so that the ball may be outwardly and out of position for engagement'by the arm 7. Alsoin this 'easel-pren: ,1
